SRTR report is out and we’re proud to be 1 of 2 centers out of 150 to earn 15/15 bars in the 5-tier system. With 371 transplants (294 liver only and 77 multi-organs) 99.7% 1y survival, and a HR=0.16 we celebrate lives saved but honor the 0.3% we couldn’t @SRTRNews @ASTSChimera

Honoring two incredible veterans today: at ages 95 and 98, they became the oldest organ donors in US. Their selfless gifts, facilitated by our UF team, continue their legacy of service and compassion. @ASTSChimera @CNN @FoxNews @UFHealth @DonateLifeFL @SRTRNews @UNOSNews #donate

Honor to represent @UFHealth at the Transplant Growth Collaboration. We had the opportunity to share the best practices of our liver program. It’s truly inspiring to see leading tx centers and OPO leaders unite w/ the goal of reaching 60k donors by 2026. @UNOSNews @ASTSChimera

Our liver program topped the SRTR report! 1y survival is the highest in the country, 99%. Our kidney program secured the #2 spot for the last 3 cycles. As the UF campaign says,“If your life is in our hands, we don’t want to be good; we want to be the best there is.” @ASTSChimera

Excellent work by the transplant and hepatobiliary surgery team at UF. Shows what you can achieve when the clinical and research teams work hand in hand.
Research Snapshot: @UFHealth researchers showed in a pilot study published in @acsJACS that a noninvasive blood testing method can effectively detect cancerous liver tumors and evaluate changes in the disease during treatment. Read more 👉 go.ufl.edu/ufzv91z

Latest SRTR report placed UF as #1 in US for liver and #2 for kidney. With over 500 transplants in 2023 (191 livers, 230 kidneys), we are now among the top 10% of programs in the nation for volume and redefining a new benchmark for outcomes @ASTSChimera @SRTRNews @UF @UFSurgery

Not in our best dreams would imagine celebrating liver #500 in a bit more than 3y @UFHealth. Pandemic gave us resilience and creativity to innovate, persevere and build a premium liver program that has helped so many! Thank you to this superb team!! Let’s go #Gators to #1000 now!

Fantastic day at #ATC2023SanDiego! Dr. Atkinson delivered two incredible presentations sharing some of the lab's work on 1) complement inhibition in organ Tx and 2) strategies for targeted immunosuppression to the endothelium in lung Tx.

Great work Ali, Sérgio and team. You make us proud!!
Proud of our @UFHealth transplant research team’s work selected for the @AST_info #CEOT2023 Transplant Visionary Challenge. Winning second place among so many amazing other presentations was a great honor. Even more since it was an audience vote! youtu.be/7r3yweiY2eM
